I am a member of a space marine group on Facebook, I think about 90% have swapped out the Judiciar head, I have certainly swapped mine for a scarred up Reiver head.

How did you find Ephrael's cloak to paint? It seems a bit oddly sculpted to me in hand.

Thanks ListenToMeWarriors! I may field them just for the fun, because one of the friends I play with is mightily scared of them, because everyone hypes them. So he can try to kill them while I move in with all my other marines The cloak was... ok to paint. I painted it separately, but getting it on both cloak "points" on the model proved difficult. It actually doesn't fit both ends, but looks well enough. Painting the backpack without repainting the cloak was manageable, but needed precision. I did shading with a light brush, so that it didn't pool to much at the bottom.

Thanks gobert! That is definitely the curse and blessing of Contrast, it is very controllable with experience. Should have maybe tried to blend them into each other instead of waiting for one to try. Might use some shade like Nuln Oil on the barrel, maybe it ties it better together.

youwashock wrote:Eradicators look sweet. The barrels are a bit banded compared to your previous method, but it still works. It does seem a little ironic that the new guy who is supposed to be all about cutting off heads can't seem to keep his own.

Thanks youwashock! It is quite funny, especially since his head isn't even that bad, but the ones from our bitz boxes work so much better

Maharg wrote:Eradicators turned out well. Quite jealous seeing all the Indomitus models in these blogs, I've got to wait months before I get my hands on it

Thanks Maharg! Hope you don't have to wait too long!

Slowly moving forward with the Hospitaller, she's still separate from the base but wanted to look if she fitted with the downed model. Shading the armour and layering helped, now I need some edge highlighting with orange and she's nearly done. Silver and Gold are the colors after that and she has vials on her backpack and I'm gonna try for the first time to make them look, like there is some liquid in there.

And the first space marine character got my attention, the chaplain is such a lovely sculpt and Contrast makes black metal armour very easy.

The Hospitaler is going to be a very colorful model when it is done. Eye-catching. The Chaplain looks good already. Wonder how the Judiciar would look in a similar color.

That Chaplain already looks inspiring and scary all at once . The Eradicators on the previous page are gorgeous.....in a superhumanly ultra manly way

I’m liking the red on the Hospitaler, nice and vibrant. Good luck with the vials, I hope the experiment goes well! The black metallic armour on the chaplain looks great too

Thanks youwashock! Judiciar will get "only" a silver armour and brown leather coat, want him to look knightly.

Thanks gobert! I need finer brushes for the vials, I finished the Hospitaller yesterday and am quite happy with the syringe, but the vials could use better lines.

And here she is in all her gory glory plus the chaplain got his gold and instead of Reikland Fleshshade I tried Guilliman Flesh and it works very well and is better to control than a normal shade.

Nice work V. I like her blue headscarf. Nicely inked/shaded/painted however you've done that. It looks the business.

Looks good and gory!

I think she needs to get a new dress, she’s got red on that one! I think the vials look pretty good to me, is the writing on the book a transfer sheet?

She looks so tranquil, despite all of the blood on her!

Hospitaller turned out great. I like the color on her mask to link her back to the rest of the Sisters. The syringe looks good, as does the gold on the Chaplain.

Thanks theCrowe! It's my patented lazy method of base, shade and than kind of drybrush with a broken brush

Thanks gobert! Now I need a small Cornetto wrapper to top of that image Writing on the book is from the Sororitas transfer sheet, those things are life savers.

Thanks Fifty! And which one? Both have that absolute faith in the god.emperor (as they should have )

youwashock wrote:Hospitaller turned out great. I like the color on her mask to link her back to the rest of the Sisters. The syringe looks good, as does the gold on the Chaplain.

Thanks youwashock! Mask was a last minute addition, because after putting her on the base, something was lacking and as you say, it ties it a bit together.

A little bit more work on the Chaplain, needs a second go on the head and getting more of the details painted, Grey Seer base is on everything and just awaiting Contrast. And I hate doing vehicles so I started on the rhino to get it out of the way. Gold is mostly based, silver started and after that gonna try some battle damage with a sponge.

Woo rhino! It is still the best little box and that one is looking good. It can definitely be a little bit of a pain to paint though.

Man those Sisters Rhinos have a lot of bling on them, looks like a good start though, the Chaplain is getting there as well.

That Hospitalier looks great, love the blood red armour to lessen the horror to those Sisters surrounding her. Bad news for the last at her feet though...I don't think she is going to pull through.

Tanky tank! Excellent bling mobile!

That is one blinged up ride! I’ve not done vehicles for many a year, mainly because they’re a huge PITA! You’re making good progress on this one I think!

Thanks ListenToMeWarriors! Hadn't thought of that, making her look less bloody with the red armour. Had to immediately think of Deadpool when I red this "He got the right idea, he's wearing his brown pants today."

Lunch break at the home office saw me finish this guy today. Have YOU prayed to the god-emperor today? If not, he will remedy that...

Keeping up a good pace. Chaplain looks awesome, as does the Rhino.

Great job with the Chaplain! Not going to lie though, I was digging the Destro look. Lol

lovely stuff as always dude, love the Heat effect on the meltas last page

Great work on the Chaplain, he looks ready to purge some heretics!

Bang up job on El Chapitan, you have a really intuitive eye for colour and where to put them to tie your cohesive scheme together.

What is next from Indomitus?

Agree with everyone else. That chaplain looks amazing.

Another vote on an amazing Chaplain . Looks like a mighty fine boat oar he is about to whallop someone with as well, those crozius get larger with every edition .

Love the Chaplain too! and the Apothecary is sweet too, not sure what washing powder they use but hope its a good one for all that blood!

You always do an impressive job with power armor. Good stuff as always.

Thanks ListenToMeWarriors! It's nice to have a choice of colors so that I can use them quickly. Starting out three years ago it was more haphazard Next up is... you'll see at the end of this post

Thanks Theo! I don't think the crozius is that big, the angle might distort it somewhat. Although I only have another Primaris Chaplain to compare to, so you could be right

Thanks squall018!

Of course after taking the chaplain pics I realized I missed doing scribbles on the scroll on his pistol, a vent on his backpack wasn't black and the skull on his backpack needed silver on the service studs.

The rhino has taken the backseat, I'm now trying to get the seven sisters done to have the squads complete. The harlie also gets the occasional slap of paint. Gonna use a lot of colors on him, a bit like the elves on Discworld who wear objectively gruesome clothes combinations, but their projected glamour makes it look fabulous.
Judiciar is up next from Indomitus, may give his coat a shade with thinned down Agrax, my drybrushing seems a bit too strong. His head is nearly done, managed to get both eyes level
And after seeing that gobert bought one and one of my friends asked if we couldn't play BSF instead of WarCry I caved and finally bought the Zoat. Gonna paint him to match the PA Inquisitor she seems like the kind who would employ a big xenos lizard.

Judiciar is looking good. Quite knightly. Zoat anticipation is high.

Awesome! The world needs more Zoat right now! I’ve bought about 2 years worth of minis to paint now, so I’m not sure when I’ll get around to mine. :(

Sisters and Judiciar are making a good start too. I quite like his leathery skirt, it looks heavily used, like it’s his favourite leather skirt that he wears for all occasions

youwashock wrote:Judiciar is looking good. Quite knightly. Zoat anticipation is high.

Thanks youwashock! Will try to build the zoat this weekend, so that (if weather permits) I can prime him next week.

Thanks gobert! Just fit him in between, he deserves being painted soon It is his favorite skirt. And he doesn't like questions like "Why is there only one sleeve?" and "Seriously, is that coat going through your armour?". It's not a greatcoat, it's a weirdcoat

And he is done, meet Judiciar Velox Lem. Painting him was fun and I really like the silver armour and may repeat that on the Bladeguard Ancient. The only weird thing are his ears. They seem very large (head is from a Custodes kit), but with the look he's giving you still shouldn't call him Dumbo

Niiiiice. He looks awesome. A real tough customer. Like how you painted the sword lettering.
